NEWS: Interact Club Raises Money For Colorado High School
By Emily LaLuna – Sports Editor
The Jonathan Law Interact Club is holding a raffle fundraiser for Arapahoe High School in Colorado.
The school lost one of their students, Claire Davis, to a tragic event back on December 13, 2013.On the same day, their school library was also set on fire.
The school is looking to restore its library in Claire’s honor and is looking for donations to help them complete it.
“Law has been comforted by the support we have received from high schools across the nation,” Interact Club advisor and guidance counselor Mrs. Haramis said. “This is an opportunity for us to pay it forward and let Arapahoe staff and students know our high school in Connecticut is thinking about them.”
Arapahoe High School said that anyone who donates, besides individuals and families, $500 or more will be given their own book in the library with the name on the spine and it will forever be kept there and proudly displayed on a bookshelf for everyone to see.
“It feels great to be able to give back to a school who experienced something similar to us,” senior Interact Club member Tiffany Coleman said.
The Interact Club and School Resource Officer Kiely came up with the idea of selling raffle tickets for $1.00.
Everyone who buys a ticket will make a guess for how many pieces of candy are in a jar and the closest guess will win the entire jar.
“I’m very excited to be a part of this fundraiser,” senior Chelsea Bernal said. “I think it will be cool to have a book with our school’s name on it across the country.”
The club will be selling the tickets May 26 to May 29 during all lunch periods.
Donations may be made to the Arapahoe High School Moving Forward Fund through credit cards and by check payable to the LPS Foundation.
